As you said, most of us are willing to wait for the actual trial and evidence, not some media portrayal of what happened.

This kind of thing happened during WWII and every other war ever fought; this war has seen less of this kind of thing than any other war.

And I notice the left didn't mind that Clinton's campaign in Kosovo fought from 25,000 feet in the air killed thousands and thousands of innocent civilians.

Most people don't seem to understand that even "precision-guided munitions" aren't all that precise. You drop a 500lb bomb, it's going to take out most everything within about 200-2000 feet of it, depending on how deep it penetrates before exploding. My guys tried their best to put the stuff where it was supposed to go, but even duds can kill people off-target. The only real precision-guided munition is a knife in a soldier's (or Marine's) hand. Then you've got a pretty fair chance that only the intended victim dies.
